It's not about slave labor, although all job dependent people are wage slaves even in a union.

It's about labor market flexibility. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/labor-market-flexibilit...

Overly strong labor unions make the entire economy less nimble in rapidly changing environments.

I rather take my European IT union, thank you.

No need for gig economy "flexibility ", making rich millionaires.
